Music / Rival Schools - United By B-Sides

Please, accept the compliment
Believe, that I mean it
It seems, like you've been hesitant...
Let me build your ego
Let me now
Come, let me now

How many times have you come across
Situations you think you get beat by?
You're the only one to see it with that eye
With that eye

Please, accept the compliment
Recede, into the background
While the sun ain't changed,
They're calling it gray
Have you forgotten who you're dealing with?
And all that you say is done
You're over and out
Let me build your ego, let me now

You are the waves that pull me up from under
So let me repay you now
You can move when you wanna move
Anyway my heart won't change
(as far as you want my heart won't change)
It's no different
Whatever it is you do
Believe I will
Feel the same way
This will not change
Feel the same way
Always

Lyrics

Get Center

Sing another song tonight
Open up your heart again
Try to make us feel alright
It's not too much, friend
See the truth as simple
I love the way you paint it
Through colors only you could show me anything
When we're grown up and we're here
What'll we do then
Wish I could see clear
We'll drive around it
Bring yourself along tonight
See, the truth is simple
Complicated stories
Held to worries, I don't get
When we're grown up and we're here
What'll we do then
Wish I could see clear
It's not felicity
Would you pretend to be
So we can get closer
All to discover
Get center, don't miss it all
It doesn't get better than where we are from
Get centered and count every minute gone
Get centered and count all you've really got
Through colors only you could sing
A song to show me everything

Lyrics

Daydream

See you later
Maybe never
An image of you in my mind
Briefly still
Did it mean the same to you?
I'd be amazed if it did 'cause it probably doesn't
It just wouldn't

We should have that cup of coffee
We could tell each other our most interesting stories
I'd thought at the time it was a good idea
But after all now, sounds like it wasn't
It just doesn't

Chorus:
Me and you all our wishes come true
Fallin' off when there's nothing to lose
Me and you all our wishes come true
Fallin' off when there's nothing to do
A daydream goin' on in my mind
A daydream where it's easy to find
Me and you all our wishes come true
Me and you all our wishes come true

Fade out, as you walk away
It's not likely we'll meet again
It's more like me to move closer than far away
Closer then far
I'll see you again

Bells

Open to a long lost feeling to you're offing
So your trying to play it cool likes it's been off hand
Just part of the show

Yeah.. she knows what it means sell your dreams, a house, a car, a dog, a cat
The bills that I drive
Head out for a while

She loves me
I love her forever now
Can't explain to see how thry ever gonna let her down
And the sun it will shine down
Weekends at the lake

And it's not long before you know for sure
Confirmation calls
It calls and calls like it always does
Hurt's never felt this way
And you'll say

She loves me
I love her forever now
Can't explain to see how they ever gonna let her down
And these bells, these bells, these bells are the only things I hear
I hear bells

(Instrumental)

She loves me
I love her forever now
Can't explain to see how they ever gonna let her down
And these bells, these bells, these bells are the only things I hear
I hear bells

I love her forever now

I love her forever now

I love her forever now

I love her forever now

On Vacation

I could feed this
The same sort of plead for attention
So sit down at the Hilton table
Find better camouflage to wear

Better everybody that's a supermarket eye
I know you as a person how youth's somewhere I can't find

Hold on to our convacent, just because I do.
So long, on vacations, you can have it!

Take a size at those right-arounds that you gave me.
I sort of expected that.
This is no attempt to win me over
Ha you better camouflage I can see you!

Hurting everybody, well the supermarket will dry
I would like to know this people, ah it's somewhere I can find.

Hold on to our impatience, just because I do.
So long, on vacations, you can have it!

Hold on to our convacent, just because I do.
So long, on vacations, just because I do!
So long, on vacations!
Just because I do.
So long, on vacations!
Just because I do
I do, I do, I do
I do

Requiem

It's beginning over again
This big winning, it is not mine
And we wonder where have you been?
You never left him, you're an inspiration

And I know that you want to be rich, yeah, but how to hold onto it?
Just a second away from the dirt you're gonna' get paid on

A skater or a savior, all your's to give
You seem much better, so through you we live
And we wonder where have you been
You never left him, you're an inspiration
There is no question

And I know that you want to be rich, yeah, but how to hold onto it?
Just a second away from the dirt you're gonna' get paid on

And you wanted to say, that you wanted to stay around
But attach no strings to you
Just a matter of days from the dirt, you're gonna' get paid on

Sweet

Lyrics

Sweet

Oh my sweetness
Under such duress
We can keep this, between us
We act like strangers in a crowd
Destroy the evidence untill we're allowed
To be so constantly entangled in eachother
Settle down until we are found
How to react as how we are
Turn away for now
Look away

To complete this, we drive so fast
Oh my sweetness
I thought I'd ask you where you think we should go from here
Still hiding out until the coast is clear
For us to know we must appear like nothngs different
To be caught it won't look good for either one of us
I know

Rest in peaces, torn to pieces
Underground sweet and low down is how we are

Drive so fast to complete this
Road won't last can we keep this

(Instrumental)

Rest in peaces, torn to pieces
To be caught it won't look good for either one of us
I know, we're holding out for convinience sake
Share the stage for us to take it
Underground
Sweet and low down is how we are

Underground
Sweet and low down

Take One For The Team

Take one for the team
That way you can compromise
It's time a pulled a tree
Careful with the merchandise
There are always falling
Which my way
Is it true, ignore it
Will come back to you someday

Be careful
And prepare
How much you need
Well how much is there
How well you spend it for
Is it logical?
What are you waiting for
Take one

Aren't we related
Take it you need to teach it more
Things are overstated
Generation

It comes back to you someday

Be careful
And prepare
How much you need
Well how much is there
How well you spend it for
Is it logical?
What are you waiting for
Take one

See the world is plentiful
Sometimes it is logical
If you have so much to many don't have at all
See the world is plentiful
Doesn't make much sense at all
If you have so much to many don't have at all

Can't be overstated
Love is what we are living for

Take one for it
Take one for it

Good Things

In line, I long to be, inside your company
Good things are coming our way, I know they always have

In time, go far away, a place where we can go I know we will some day, our own
Until then, I will lay inside, the Sun'll rise in time

Don't be so selfless
I wait on the same lines as you
You can't be so helpless, I'll say what I'm going to do

Good things are coming our way
Good things are coming our way

In line, I long to be, inside your company (I wait 'till I have to do less)
Whenever you know we'll go wherever you wanted to
Been wishing I was somewhere else now, drive along to escape
Good things are coming

Don't be so selfless
I wait on the same lines as you
Can't be so helpless, I'll say what I'm going to do

Good things are coming our way
Good things are coming our way, I'll wait till I have to do less

Drive along to our escape, drive along to our escape

Good things are coming, good things are coming, our way
Good things are coming, good things are coming, our way
Good things are coming, good things are coming, our way

Our way

High Acetate

Trouble abounds when you're left out of the makeup
Sunday dreams, a launch of schemes to overwhelm
I hope I'm the only one to weigh in on the colors I choose

High acetate, fly elevate
High acetate, fly

Unrealistic ideas misbehavin' like reindeers that pull the sleigh
I bet you never thought your movie would turn out this way
Can't take it, it's mine
Leave it behind, it's your chance to make

High acetate, fly elevate
High acetate, fly elevate

Up onward, moving forward
Creation with no hesitation

Witness a launch of schemes so fine
Got to realize all your dreams of mine

High acetate, fly elevate
High acetate, fly

Up onward, moving forward
Creation with no hesitation

Used For Glue

Days of a conflict you've been in
Traces of conscience you don't want to hear
You hear it now
You listen, you hear a sound
You missed it

Taken by conscience or taken by guilt
You live in the problems you decided to fill

You hear it now
You listen and hear a sound that can't be still

The blame was found
You got it - you got it
Rode when she was new
You used for glue
Yeah

Dazed for a time you were into
Praise from the crowd that you wanted to fool

You call them now, they're waiting
To hear a sound that can't be still

The blame was found, you got it - you got it
Rode when she was new but wasn't told when she was through

Yeah...
Listen now, the sound that cant be still

(Instrumental)

The blame was found
You got it - you got it
Rode when she was new but wasn't told when she was through
(the blame was found)
Rode when she was new (the blame was found) but wasn't told when she was through
(the blame was found)
Rode when she was new (the blame was found) but wasn't told when she was through

Yeah

Undercovers On

Crept on you like slowly
But faster than you could see
It's not like I noticed
I would be the first one you let in
Same person that you know would forget to be honest
I might be the furthest from your mind

Whatever you told me, somehow you sold me on
I want to believe it 'til I see you later on

Whatever you told me, somehow you sold me on
I want to believe it 'til I see you later on
You cross the other way
And hope I didn't see you
Start calling out your name
Because I want to meet you again
Don't know why, you say, you're doing fine
But that's not what it looks like
Something doesn't feel right
Your undercover's on

(Instrumental)

Crept on you like slowly
But faster than you could see
It's not like I noticed

Whatever you told me, somehow you sold me on
One had to believe it 'til I see you later on
You cross the other way
And hope I didn't see you
I start calling out your name
Because I want to meet you again
Don't ask why, you say, you're doing fine
But that's not what it looks like
Something doesn't feel right
Your undercover's on

You're acting kind of warm
But soon you've got to leave
There's something that you need
I'm not invited to go
Those people that you know
Well, they don't care about you
Could live easily without you
Your undercover's on

Your undercover's on
You're acting kind of warm
But soon you're got to leave
There's something you need
I'm not invited to go
Those people that you know
They don't care about you
Could live easily without you
You cross the other way
And hope I didn't see you
I'm calling out your name
Because I want to meet you again
Don't know why

Your undercover's on

Holding Sand

Lyrics

Rival Schools

Holding Sand

Sew a late seed
And so inside
A cast out, unwanted son
A crawl to what you want
Sit down, you fault, you run away from anyone
And where you live, I feel most on
A corner of space that you don't run
And guard's off, I pass you by

Makes no impression as you stand
Makes no impression holding left out holding sand

A waif across the sea, a loss
Because you can't think straight
It's your calling
Wasted mourning
You wish it was your hand sliding down her back
Call, this is the first thing that you can solve
As the weight comes off again
Always the last to remember a name

Makes no impression as you stand
Make no impression holding sand

You had your captive fan, and then what?
She saw your face and it tied your hands
Made no impression on me
Make no impression, only left out holding sand

And it runs through
And it runs through
Shows in your face and runs through your hands

Made no impression on me
Make no impression holding sand

You had your captive fan, and then what?
She saw your face and it tied your hands
Made no impression on me
Make no impression, only left out holding sand

Only left out holding sand

Only left out holding sand

Only left out holding sand

So Down On

Lyrics

So Down On

You can blame this fall on some
Invitation to your friend
When she promised that she'd come
You could wait until the end
Now you want it all too soon
Just to calm what's on your mind
Til she calls it off again
To the wayside

Yesterday is left behind
It's as close as you might get
Til she calls you all the time
She calls so you can get
Down on

Not adjusted to begin
As you lay with your concerns
Are we better off as friends ?
Either way it burns
Now you want it all too soon
Just to calm what's on your mind
And she calls it off again
To the wayside

Yesterday is left behind
It's as close as you might get
Til she calls you all the time
She calls so you can get
Down on
So good so far
So down on

You said I'm lost instead
But that's all in your head

(Instrumental)

Yesterday is left behind
It's as close as you might get
Til she calls you all the time
She calls so you can get

Yesterday is left behind
It's as close as you might get
Til she calls you all the time
She calls so you can get
Down on
So good so far

So down on
So good so far

So down on

Been wishing I was somewhere else now, drive along to escape
